Why Should I Use Bedside Bumpers?

A study based on the NPSA’s National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) estimated 1,250 reports of injuries from striking or trapping limbs in bedrails are made every twelve months from hospitals and mental health units in England and Wales. The Medicines and Health Care Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have had reports of 21 bedrail related deaths from 2000 – 2006. Bedside bumpers have been specifically designed to reduce the number of injuries and deaths related to bedside railings entrapment. 

Who Can Benefit From Padded Bedside Bumpers?

• Patients with epilepsy
• Elderly patients vulnerable to falls
• Those who suffer from excessive bruising (ecchymosis)
• Patients who suffer from confusion, agitation or delirium
• Anyone who experiences repetitive or involuntary movements
• People with high or low body mass (which may change entrapment risks)
• People with variable levels of consciousness, or those under sedation

Are the Bedside Rail Bumpers Easy to Fit?

These bumpers use easy to fit hook and loop fastenings along the bottom edge making them straightforward and effortless to set up and secure. The fastening on the bottom edge prevents anyone from accidentally unhooking it, helping to improve patient safety.

Prevent Entrapment and Reduce Risk of Bruising

Patients who suffer from involuntary movements or seizures can easily get their arms trapped in between bed rails or cause limb injury from harsh contact with the rails throughout the night. Full length padded bumpers remove the risk of injury from harsh contact and create a seal to prevent patients pushing their limbs between the bed sides and mattress.

Inner Foam Padding for Soft Cushioning

Employing a cushioned fibre filled padding, these bumpers provide a soft and supportive surface to absorb any shock should the patient's limbs come into harsh contact with the bed rails. This actively minimises the risk of bruising by softening any impact from involuntary movements or seizures throughout the night. 

Wipe Clean Material for Effortless Maintenance

Accidents and spillages are common occurrences and it is essential to invest in bumpers that repel liquids or food to prolong their life. These Bedside Bumpers are manufactured from a hydrophobic, wipe clean material that does not absorb liquids or spillages, ensuring maintenance is fast and easy.

Full Length Composition for Added Protection

Full length padded bumpers that cover the entire length of the bed rail provide added protection, ensuring the patients legs or feet can't get trapped or stuck between the bed rails. The padded cushioning prevents them from bruising or injuring themselves from hard impact or excessive movement.

Wraparound Design to Close Potentially Dangerous Gaps

These bumpers feature wraparound flaps that cover the corners of the headboard and footboard, closing potentially harmful gaps between the mattress and the bed rails. This ensures patients are not able to injure themselves accidentally due to exposed sections of the bed rails. 

What Size Bumpers Do I Need?

These Bed Rail Bumpers are manufactured to fit 200cm long hospital beds providing full coverage and protection. With options for both standard height bed rails or high-sided metal rails either 76cm or 96cm high, you're free to select a suitable option for your needs, guaranteeing the entirety of your bed rails will be covered.
